Healey leads Government tribute to charity support for flood-hit communities

Published: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:39:31

The extraordinary efforts of charities and volunteers in helping those in greatest need after last summer's floods were recognised at a Downing Street reception, with Floods Recovery Minister John Healey.

Twenty-nine charities and voluntary organisations who raised money and gave practical help were represented at the event - from the British Red Cross, whose specially-trained volunteers went to help communities as soon as the flood waters hit, to members of Lowdham Parish Council who provided a forum through which local people could receive help and information, and compiled a register of vulnerable residents so that support could be directed to those that needed it most.
